The estrange husband of Jennifer Lopez posts a picture that sees him kissing and affectionately embracing his Venezuelan model girlfriend Shannon De Lima.

Marc Anthony doesn't hesitate to flaunt his new model girlfriend, Shannon De Lima, to show that he has moved on from Jennifer Lopez. On Wednesday, January 4, the 43-year-old Latin singer posted on his Facebook page a photo that sees him kissing his Venezuelan girlfriend while his arms are tightly wrapped around her body.

Adding a caption to the intimate photograph, the two-time Grammy winner wrote, "Gracias!" A day prior, he also shared a posting on Twitter to show his adoration to the lucky girl. "A mi @Shadelima mi estatua de libertad. Besos bebe," so he tweeted in Spanish, which means "To Shannon, my statue of liberty. Kisses baby!" in English.

Anthony's new leading lady is a 24-year-old Venezuelan model who is also the runner-up of 2005 Miss Earth Venezuela. According to Hola, De Lima has a 4-year-old son from a previous relationship.

The singer went public with his new relationship on Tuesday, January 3, as he re-tweeted a posting from his adopted son Chaze Muniz, who wrote, "To all my followers and everybody on twitter follow 2012 best couple and for many more years to come @MarcAnthony and @Shadelima !!!!!"

In a later posting, Muniz added, "Life is beautiful nothing like being surrounded by the people you love @MarcAnthony @Shadelima !!!!!! #family."

This is not the first time the "I Need to Know" singer gets linked romantically to a Latin model. Back in December 2011, Life & Style magazine reported that he was dating a Mexican model named Adriana Ontiveros.
